CF on box with Sharepoint

Hey there. I am running a box with windows server 2003 on it and my organiz. uses sharepoint portal server 2003 and I want to do a bunch of pages in CF. I am running into problems in installing the two on the same box. Has anyone done this, should I be having these problems? The cfide on the wwwroot just reads as if it isnt there. When I go to the administrator properties it just says the page isn't there. any ideas???

Are you installing it in J2EE mode or in standalone mode? And did you choose the option to connect it to IIS (assuming you are using IIS as the web server)?

Well I have coldfusion on the machine as a self-contained server that uses IIS. Should I be using the J2EE to have it run correctly?

Are you sure you have it connected to IIS? Look at your script mappings in IIS and confirm that the .cfm and .cfc pages are mapped to the JRun .dll file.

You can also try calling a CF page on the port 8500, like http://myserver:8500/mypage.cfm to see if it is only using the internal web server and not IIS.

Well kiteless it worked before I put portal server on the box. Since I put the sharepoint portal server on the machine it no longer works. The administrator wont pull up anymore. Basically i have finished all of my stuff in coldfusion and now i want to make sure I can use it w/ sharepoint also. Does sharepoint and CF usually have a problem or since install do you think something was over written. The files are on my machine and if I write the address in the web address it wont even open them which I find strange. It would open them before though.

I don't know of any specific issues with using CF and Sharepoint, but it is totally possible that installing Sharepoint reset something in IIS. Can you verify that the IIS web site has script mappings in place for the CF server? Can you verify that the CF services are running on the box?

i am attaching an image that I copied and pasted from a screen shot. This is what you mean by mapping I believe. It does have the CFIDE site listed...yet does not open the administrator page.

kiteless and here is a screen shot of my services. So it is mapped and it is running in the servcies. When I go to open it just says page can not be displayed....

That is a virtual directory mapping. I mean right click on the web site, then choose properties, then home directory, and there should be a configuration button that you can click to see what script mappings are defined.

Also, can you confirm that the ColdFusion services are all running properly? Have you tried restarting the box?

Yea man I am not sure. I am gonna wait for the guy that is loaded everything up to come back tomorrow and get it going agian. I have uninstalled and reinstalled coldfusion several times and restarted the box a few times. Possibly we need to have sharepoint on first, then coldfusion or something I dont know. I am out of here for hte day, but back to it tomorrow. i appreciate you helping me out. i will keep you updated.

Ok we are running windows server 2003 on this box. We could not get coldfusion to open and portal to work at the same time. It was always one or the other working. So we said we will just use the coldfusion on a box but we need to use SSL. So I made SSL possible and put a certificate on the box. Now I reinstalled Coldfusion and when I go to my administrator page it opens the first page that asks for pw to set up coldfusion. But never makes it to enter.cfm to begin setting up the pages. Anyone have any idea?

Not really, I've installed CF many times, and used it with SSL many times. SSL affects the web server, it has nothing to do with CF. It's the web server that does encrypting and decrypting, CF just processes pages and hands the results back to the web server for it to send back to the client (via SSL or not).
